Michigan basketball team involved in plane crash en route to Big Ten tournament

The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon.

A scary situation involving the Michigan men's basketball team emerged on Wednesday, as the team's plane skidded off the runway during an aborted takeoff attempt.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the team's plane was attempting to take off, but had to abort after high winds wouldn't allow the plane to get up in time. The plane then slid off the runway, reportedly taking extensive damage.

No injuries were reported with the incident. Michigan has since released a statement.

The Michigan basketball team was on their way to the Big Ten championship tournament, which is being held this year in Washington, D.C. The school is in the process of making alternate travel plans for the team and the crew traveling with them.
